Interesting fact
The 20 Fen 38 coin from Kweichow Province (now known as Guizhou Province) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in China. In 1949, the Communist Party of China (CPC) led by Mao Zedong came to power, and the country began to transition from a Nationalist government to a socialist state. This coin, made of silver, was minted during this transition period and features the iconic image of the Tiananmen Gate in Beijing, which symbolizes the country's revolution and progress.
